Abstract

Today, Nuclear power-plants are vital and indispensable source of energy. But, the waste management and reprocessing of the wastes and the radiation hazards have been the matter of concern. This work provides a unique perspective on the progress of remediation, experience gained and issues that still need to be resolved particularly associated with management of the huge quantities of waste generated and also on Fukushima remediation it
